Elon Musk suggests Ukraine should be "neutral" in Russia's war in Ukraine and in an approach to peace, and says Crimea is "formally part of Russia" (US/other allies recognize Crimea is Ukrainian).

Ukraine's Ambassador to Germany weighs in: "Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply"

Other European leaders also voiced their opposition to Musk’s plan.

“Dear @elonmusk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn’t make them legal owner of the car or of the wheels. Even though they claim both voted in favour of it. Just saying,” Lithuania’s president, Gitanas Nausėda, tweeted in response.

Just in case you want to vote (I voted NO)

1. Excellent response!

[The Jungle 1]

2. Well the ambassador got that one right

We have an elected official who is tasked with presenting out foreign affairs positions.
Sit down and shut up Musk!

[SergeStorms]

3. I love the Ukrainian people....

more with each passing day.

Their opinion of Musk mirrors mine. 😊

[LittleGirl]

30. Same! Fist bump! nt

[GB_RN]

4. Just Exactly How...

In the wide, wide world of fucks, is Ukraine supposed to be "'neutral' in Russia's war in Ukraine", given that Ukraine is an active participant and the victim in Putin's war of aggression?

Elon should STFU and stick to managing Tesla and his other companies. The more he opens his mouth, the further his stock price drops.

[PatSeg]

17. I know

What the hell is wrong Elon Musk? He is getting weirder and more outrageous all the time and I didn't think that was possible.

You know, maybe he really doesn't like being the "richest man in the world" and on some level, he is trying to sabotage himself.

[wnylib]

44. Well, 20th century Nazis had Henry Ford and

Charles Lindbergh.

21 century fascists have Elon Musk.

[PlutosHeart]

49. LindberghMusk is a perfect analogy.

He has millions of followers on Twitter and it is strongly a cult that does his bidding. He trashed Netflix for being "woke" and told them to dump the service and they did sending Netflix into trouble.
So you can bet his telling this to his minions. Musk is a hard right conservative and full of himself wacko.

[Farmer-Rick]

52. And Trump's father and W's grandfather

Too apparently. They both did their part to support Nazis during WWII.

[PatSeg]

63. Appears so

Though I think Musk is a special kind of weird. I don't think he really believes anything. He just tends to be reactive depending on what kind of mood he's in. I think the guy needs medication.

[3Hotdogs]

38. Thought this was going along the lines of Monty Python, Life of Brian...

"How shall we fuck off?"

[mjvpi]

50. Exactly my first thought. Reality has made it impossible for Ukraine to be neutral.

Apparently you need not be empathetic or particularly bright to make a jillion dollars.

[maxsolomon]

5. That makes zero sense, even for Musk.

How can Ukraine be neutral on Ukraine? I feel like something's missing in this Tweet...

Also, Crimea was FORMERLY (not "Formally" ) part of Rusher prior to 1954. It was Khrushchev's decision to give it to the Ukraine SSR. The reasons were self-serving: to add a million Russians to Ukraine.

6. This is how it unfolded.

[maxsolomon]

9. OK, that helps, but I'm not on Twitter.

So I don't know who posted that poll or what the question is.

I get what "Ukraine remains neutral" means in context, though: no NATO membership.

[herding cats]

12. I hosted the image so you can see it.

Musk deleted the Tweet but screenshots remain.

[maxsolomon]

22. Thanks. That makes it worse. F Musk.

It wasn't a 'mistake', it was a deliberate ploy to increase the Russian minority in the UkrSSR.

[irisblue]

16. Elon himself started the Twitter poll

Ukraine-Russia Peace:

- Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.

- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).

- Water supply to Crimea assured.

- Ukraine remains neutral.

He posted this today, 12:15pm, eastern US

The push back was immediate and *against him*

He started whining that bots were against him within 30minutes.

Elon is not used to being told no & disagreed with on a massive scale.

It must be a massive shock to his ego.

[SallyHemmings]

7. Why is his opinion reported?

Excellent response by the Ambassador!

[CaptainTruth]

8. Next: Musk announces plan to buy Ukraine.

[MustLoveBeagles]

10. Shh

Don't give him any ideas. 😏

[Botany]

11. Good luck trying to sell a Tesla in Europe now. Americans and Australians should boycott them too.

Elon Musk, Ukraine should be "neutral" in Russia's war in Ukraine and says Crimea is now
"formally part of Russia."

Watch how fast that both Tesla and Musk issue a correction to Elon's awful statement.

[niyad]

14. Says Crimea has been part of russia sincev1783.

[SCantiGOP]

18. So?

Texas and California were part of Spain at that time.

[niyad]

21. Details!

[DBoon]

48. Mercedes makes an EV just as feature rich (and just as expensive) as a Tesla

You want a luxury EV, get one from the company not run by an asshole

[Warpy]

13. I wonder if Musk has looked at a map nt

Crimea has no supply of fresh water. As part of Ukraine, it was supplied from the mainland. Russia has to truck it in.

[Igel]

61. That was part of his proposal.

Because that's what it is--a proposal that peace be achieved through revoting, a neutral Ukraine, water for Crimea, etc.

[Pepsidog]

15. Saw a video of Musk after 2008 financial crisis when he almost lost it all. Here is a guy who has

a unique ability to get incredible things done, a guy who it's hard not to admire. I just saw a video of a human like robot he is working on. You want to root for these incredible people even if they flawed personalities like Steve Jobs. But then Trump and a bunch of wacko, RWNJs come along and brainwashes a guy like Musk to say he will never vote for a democrat again. Too much weed or too much something and Mush becomes just another MF'en Deplorable. And isn't he making money with his StarLink satellites helping the Ukrainian military effort. Definitely too much weed.

[blogslug]

26. He's good at buying companies

Name one thing that man has actually invented, himself.

[Pepsidog]

39. I hate to defend Musk but Like Steve Jobs, Musk has the ability to motivate people accomplish

remarkable things. Steve Jobs knew what people wanted but wasn't the computer genius behind his accomplishments, he pushed his people to be better.

[48656c6c6f20]

32. A piece of shit human being is still a piece of shit human being.

And he doesn't invent shit, he just monopolizes on others achievements. He's a walking empty nut sack.

[Warpy]

59. He sticks to engineering, he's fantastic

but like many phenomenally talented people, he's thick as a brick when he steps outside his area of expertise, and his is coming up with engineering concepts that will work and hiring the kind of people who can get it out of the planning stage into something that does indeed work.

I confess I've wondered for the last couple of years what Russian agent he's been boffing. Somebody is feeding him this bullshit, it's out of character for his last 20 years or so.

[generalbetrayus]

19. Ukraine's Ambassador to Germany weighs in: "Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply".

I guess the "and die" part is not so diplomatic.

[Cha]

65. Good Call..

[Cha]

20. Fucking Boom! The Ukrainian💙💛

Ambassador to Germany Speaks for me.

Elon Musk is FULL OF Stupid Shite!

[niyad]

23. Slava Ukraini!

24. Here's another excellent response to Musky

34. That guy Crazy Tomczyk bio is 👇

Member of the Polish Parliament. Vice-chairman of the PO RP. Chairman of the KO Club (20-21). Spokesman for the Government of the Republic of Poland and Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (2015)

[geardaddy]

35. ?

I'm not sure what this means.

[irisblue]

36. Another important Eastern European politician just told Musk to fuck off.

[geardaddy]

43. Ah, got it!

Thanks!

[LymphocyteLover]

25. Elon's brain has turned to mush

[kpete]

27. Zelenskyy tweeted this earlier today and deleted it. I'll screen cap this one in case he deletes it

[Grokenstein]

28. The more attention Elon gets, the more attention Elon wants.

Keep his sorry ass away from the White House.

[geardaddy]

31. He can't run. He's a naturalized citizen

not a natural born citizen. And thank the gods for that.

[Grokenstein]

40. True! But they've tried to run around that rule before.

Back when CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Republicans' darling, Orrin Hatch and Vic Snyder (with the help of Barney Frank, FFS!) proposed separate amendments that would allow naturalized citizens to run after a significant numbers of years as a citizen. Neither went anywhere then of course, but we're currently living in the increasingly-stupidest timeline...

[geardaddy]

46. Yes, I remember that

I would totally expect the MAGAts to try something like that to allow Musk or Gorka or some other idiot to run.

[not fooled]

68. And if the remaining 666koch666 and his ilk get a Constitutional Convention

they will change that requirement in a heartbeat, for the next non-citizen puke figurehead that dumbasses would vote into the White House.

[OMGWTF]

29. I've been driving an electric car (Chevy Volt) for eight years and I love it.

It was my plan that a Tesla Model S would be my next car, but fk that guy; there are lots of electric options coming on the market.

[Mopar151]

73. Friends have one, love it!

They have a net metered solar house, figured in from go. The modest Volt serves their needs well, as part of a larger fleet. Everything from a 500 hp hillclimb car thru RV,SUV, Blackie the pickup,, a tractor, and electric bikes! So far, there are only 2 months of electric bills/yr.!!!

[Escurumbele]

33. It must be a decease that Elon Musk and J. D. Vance caught, they seem to be so different in

previous life but have become these creepy people...I don't know, maybe they were always creepy and stupid.

[Grokenstein]

41. Man, I *wish* they'd catch a (BITES TONGUE)

But yeah, they were always creepy and stupid. These days they're just allowed to be comfortable with it.

[soldierant]

60. Not to be negative about any condition,

or disability, or whatever, pparticularly one which so many people handle so much better, but I believe Musk is on the spectrum (not my idea, I've read that he's said so.) But if he weren't also wwhite, privileged, and rish, he would likely manage it better.

[Hekate]

37. Okay then

[Mr. Evil]

42. This is why we don't need mega-billionaires.

They always end up thinking 'I have all this money, I must be smarter than everybody else.' No, he's not necessarily smarter because of money. He's fortunate. He grew up in a wealthy family, was able to attend college at multiple universities. In other words, he had multiple opportunities to pursue and accomplish things. Most anyone could if they had similar opportunities.

These people are coddled and they want for nothing. And since they assume they're smarter than everyone else they start talking. Which always brings us to the old saying, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."

Oh, by the way, fuck him!

[DBoon]

45. who appointed Elon Musk emperor of the world?

[irisblue]

47. He did. He is now getting high off his own narcissistic supply.

[winstars]

51. Very weird because Ukraine army has been using Starlink for internet...

I have read in more than a few places that use of Starlink has helped literally kill Russians. I hope Elon doesn't now do something stupid, since he's clearly a real asshole...

[Efilroft Sul]

55. You beat me to the punch about Starlink aiding Ukraine. Something seems off about this kerfuffle.

[yaesu]

62. he talked some of his rich friends to put up the cost which was nice but nothing is free when

dealing with almost trillionaires, they don't get rich by being nice.

[William769]

53. It just boggles the mind why anyone would even think that Ukraine should give up anything after

being attacked.

Do you think we (the U.S.) would give up anything?

[Justice matters.]

57. If putler invaded Alaska, musk would say it belongs to him.

Just who should have to care what that other entitled asshole billionaire has to say??

He should shut up and try to make better cars that don't catch fire all of sudden!

[Evolve Dammit]

54. Good response. Elon can go fuck himself. What a supreme asshole. "Neutral"?? WTF

[maxsolomon]

64. give up the goal of NATO membership

to assuage Rusher's paranoia.

[Evolve Dammit]

67. and if they had not given up their nukes....none of this would have happened IMHO.

[greatauntoftriplets]

56. Musk isn't very bright, is he?

[uponit7771]

66. +1,

[Joinfortmill]

58. Musk is an ass.

[texasfiddler]

69. Elon Must always attacks the good guys. He did the same thing with the Thailand rescuer.

If his ego isn't stroked enough by the good guys, he lashes out at the good guys.

[Lancero]

70. Given how people here reacted to Ukraine asking for rapid admission into NATO...

He isn't wrong.

Most people in this topic just don't like the company their stance now finds them with.

[Martin68]

71. Musk is an idiot savante. Every village needs one.

[icymist]

72. Dear Elon Musk,

Please go to Mars.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

74. There is a musky stench in all of this.

[DFW]

75. I take it Musk would have told the people of Hawai'i to remain neutral on December 8, 1941

And he would also have granted amnesty to all accused at Nürnberg in 1946.

If anything, I think the Ukrainian ambassador's response was "measured."

[wryter2000]

76. I'm jealous

I wish I could tell him to fuck off publicly.

[blue-wave]

77. LOL!! Me too!
